Is there any significance to the fact that in 4:20 ff. the woman and
Jesus say: "hOI PATERES hHMWN <EN TWi OREI TOUTWi> PROSKUNHSAN ...
hUMEIS LEGETE hOTI <EN IEROSOLUMOIS>> ESTIN hO TOPOS ... LEGEI AUTHi hO
IHSOUS ... OUTE <EN TWi OREI TOUTWi> OUTE <EN IEROSOLUMOIS> PROSKUNHSETE
TWi PATER.
I.e., does this immediately preceding and contextually-related usage of
EN as a place or perhaps sphere where one is to worship influence the
interpretation of the EN in EN PNEUMATI KAI ALHQEIA?
